A procession in an outdoor street setting. In the centre, a bearded man wearing a maroon-brown turban and draped maroon robe, with heavy gold necklaces, a long white and pink flower garland and bangles, smiles broadly and holds a bouquet of yellow and orange flowers. Around him, devotees with white-painted faces and bodies wear saffron-orange cloth and white dhotis with yellow borders, many with beaded malas and flower garlands. Trishul staffs and tall ceremonial poles rise above the crowd, and a white car sits in the foreground. Probable Swamiji is the central figure, identified by turban, ornate gold jewellery and the flower garland; he is in a procession role with devotees around him.
